The process flow for creating a print image record has been described above.
Next, the flow of processing for adjusting the print layout will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

  9 to 11 are flowcharts showing the flow of processing for adjusting the print layout in the embodiment of the present invention.

  In 901, the information processing apparatus acquires all the items whose “print order group ID” value is “A” from the change table. Since the function itself is changed when the value of [Print Order Group ID] is A, the confirmation priority has the highest priority. Therefore, all print layouts with [print order group ID] A are first listed and printed.

In 902, the information processing apparatus determines whether the print image block object fits on the print paper. The print arrangement is performed in units of functions, and the functions are arranged so that they are not printed across pages. For this purpose, a line that can be printed on one sheet of printing paper is calculated, and a print image block having a value of [print order group ID] of A is arranged so as to fit therein. At this time, depending on the number of lines in the print image block, there is a possibility that a wasteful space may be formed on the print paper when the print image blocks are arranged in the acquired order. In order to avoid this, if a print image block having a value of [print order group ID] is A, it is assumed that the arrangement is determined while searching for a function that fits in the print page in random order.
In 903, the information processing apparatus arranges the print image block object on the sheet.
In 904, the information processing apparatus gives the current page to [print image block print page number].
In 905, the information processing apparatus gives the current line to [print image block print image block start line].

In 906, the information processing apparatus determines whether all print image block objects have been arranged. If none of the remaining print image blocks fits, page break is performed (908), and the search for blocks to be arranged is continued. If there is a function that does not fit on one print page, the page is printed across the last page.
In 907, the information processing apparatus acquires the next print image block object.

In 1001, the information processing apparatus acquires all the items whose “print order group ID” value is “B” from the change table. An image block whose value of [print order group ID] is B refers to an image block whose value of [print order group ID] is A. When confirming the change of the source code using this printed matter, the troublesome movement of the viewpoint is reduced by comparing it with the reference location. For this purpose, the image block whose [print order group ID] value is B is arranged so that it is not printed on the back side of the image block whose [print order group ID] value is referenced. As a method for realizing this, first, while the currently determined page is on the surface of the print paper, it is a new paper, or whether the value of [Print Order Group ID] is placed after the image block of A. Since there is no reference destination function on the back side, the arrangement is determined in the same manner as when the value of [Print Order Group ID] is A.
In 1002, the information processing apparatus determines whether the current print surface is the front surface.
In 1003, the information processing apparatus arranges a print image block object.
In 1004, the information processing apparatus gives the current page to [print image block print page number].
In 1005, the information processing apparatus gives the current line to [print image block print image block start line].
In 1006, the information processing apparatus acquires the next print image block object.

Next, when the page currently determined to be arranged is the back side of the printing paper or the back side, the “image block whose [print order group ID] value is A” is placed on the front side. The referred “image block whose [print order group ID] value is B” is not arranged (for example, the function β referring to the function α in the image block is printed on the back side of the function α. To suppress). Therefore, only “an image block whose value of [print order group ID] is B” that does not refer to “an image block whose value of [print order group ID] is A” placed on the front side is to be placed on the back side. And
In 1007, the information processing apparatus arranges a print image object that does not refer to the print image block object on the surface.
In step 1008, the information processing apparatus determines whether there is a print image object that can be arranged.

If the arrangement on the back side is completed or there is no more arrangement, the process returns to the arrangement on a new sheet, and the arrangement of the remaining image blocks is determined in the same manner as when the value of [Print Order Group ID] is A. To do.
In 1009, the information processing apparatus transitions to the surface of a new sheet.
In 1010, the information processing apparatus acquires the next print image block object.
In 1011, the information processing apparatus arranges a print image block object.
In step 1012, the information processing apparatus gives the current page to [print image block print page number].
In 1013, the information processing apparatus gives the current line to [print image block print image block start line].
In 1014, the information processing apparatus determines whether all print image block objects have been arranged.

Next, in 1101, the information processing apparatus acquires all the items whose value of [print order group ID] is C. An image block whose value of [print order group ID] is C is not changed, and a function that has been changed is not referenced (an image block that is not affected by the change). The function is present in the same file as the changed function, and it is not necessary to check the contents, but the function name is left as a configuration of the entire source code. As described above, since it is unlikely that the value of [print order group ID] refers to an image block of C, printing is performed by reducing (4 in 1 printing or the like) in order to reduce the printing amount. For this purpose, the current print arrangement position is moved to the next print arrangement surface, and reduced print setting is performed.
In 1102, the information processing apparatus moves to the next surface.
In 1103, the information processing apparatus performs reduced print setting.
In 1104, the information processing apparatus arranges a print image block object.
In 1105, the information processing apparatus determines whether all print image block objects have been arranged.
In 1106, the information processing apparatus acquires the next print image block object.

In the print layout adjustment process, the page on which the print image block is actually printed is stored in the print image block print page number column, and the line on which the print image block is actually printed is stored in the print image block print page number column.
The process flow for adjusting the print layout has been described above.
Next, the flow of processing for creating a table of contents will be described with reference to FIG.

In 1204, the information processing apparatus acquires and creates information necessary for creating a table of contents from the change record.
In 1205, the information processing apparatus adds the created table of contents to the table of contents printing image file.
FIG. 14 shows an example of the table of contents created.
The process flow for creating a table of contents has been described above.

As described above, it is possible to provide a mechanism in which an operator who prints a source code on a sheet and confirms a change point can easily identify a change part or an affected part.
Therefore, the worker can reduce the work of checking the point where the source code is changed and the part affected by the change.
